Beverly Hills Day Trip

Jeff and I made a day trip to

this weekend

Our first and always favorite stop

a restaurant and lounge

overlooking Wilshire Boulevard and

For me it always feels like an immersive

Beverly Hills experience

with both locals and travelers visiting from around the world.

The BLVD

is located on the ground floor of the iconic

Beverly Wilshire Hotel

(remember PrettyWoman which came out in 1990)

Built in 1928 it's past is as storied as Hollywood itself!

I just love entering the restaurant through the

main hotel lobby!

You get to experience the grandeur of the hotel

with it's always opulent flower arrangements!

The gorgeous themed flowers are carried throughout

The BLVD

All the way to the individual tables!

I just love wonderful table flowers!

I chose to wear a cream outfit finished with my

oversized Pearls and Floral Brooch'

I try to do outfits that are as interesting sitting at a table as standing.

My outfit inspiration started with a tulle slip Ive' had since January

waiting for the perfect outfit and occasion.

I topped it with a short sweater over wide legged denim

for a dose of juxtaposition.

I loved the swish of the slip when I walked.

So many times my favorite outfits are about textured and movement.

Ralph Lauren Beverly Hills

is another favorite stop of ours when in town.

My stylish husband and photographer!

Same Ralph Lauren Beverly Hills entrance

24 years ago with my adorable 3!

We don't go to Beverly Hills often

but when we do

I like to dress to make it an occasion.

It was our first trip to Rodeo Drive.

I loved neutrals and hats clear back then!

I can still remember this day so clearly.

I wish I could go back here

just for an afternoon.

Boy did I love these kiddos fiercely!

And I am so grateful I took the time to dress my children well.

I had no idea when I started this post this morning

I would end up here

all because I thought the Ralph Lauren entry looked different

I guess life is all about making beautiful memories

then and now.

And great outfits along the way!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life

New Turquoise Howlite Bracelets Shop Launch

It's here!

My latest design launch of

Turquoise Howlite Bracelets!

I am one again working with my beloved Howlite. gemstones.

Not only do I love the weight and texture

I really appreciate that it's believed by many to help with reducing anxiety.

I had an affinity for this gemstone the first time I ever put it on.

It just feels good to me to wear

and

I am all about anything that may have anti anxiety properties.

Especially when it comes as a gorgeous bracelet!

Howlite gemstone is porous with naturally occurring veining

so it takes the turquoise dye remarkably well

creating the look and feel of real turquoise

for a value of a price

and

all the best properties of Howlite.

I have finished off the Turquoise Howlite

with hand crafted links

mixed again with glass pearls.

Within this latest launch I once again have

bold sized bracelets.

And of course I have quieter, more petite bracelets as well.

All of my bracelet charms come on lobster claws

which means they are easily removable

maximizing your styling potential

which is always a focus of mine when I design my pieces.

Wear the bracelets individually or wear several sets

to create your own personal stack of arm candy!

And of course each piece in my

New Turquoise Howlite Collection

comes beautifully gift wrapped with cotton twill

and

a handcrafted pearl charm

that you can add to anything

including your new bracelet!

It's a special gift from me to you!

I have always had turquoise in

My Accessory Wardrobe

It's always highly versatile as an outfit styling tool.

Whether I'm going for western flair

or

just want a pop of bold color

turquoise is always a stylish finish!

Thanks ever so much for stopping by!

Drop by again in the next couple of weeks

because I will be showcasing

the necklaces and earrings

that will round out my

Turquoise Howlite Collection!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life

New Turquoise Howlite Coming to the Shop

I've been busy in the studio recently designing a

New Turquoise Howlite Collection

that will be dropping in my shop

the end of the week!

I am once again working with my beloved

Howlite

which is believed by many to have

stress and anxiety reducing properties.

Howlite is a pourous semi precious gem

which makes it perfect to be dyed to perfectly mimic turquoise

while still having all the properties of pure Howlite.

Turquoise Howlite is a staple in my

Accessory Wardrobe

I pull out my turquoise whenever I want to add some

Western vibes to my outfits

or

even some bold color statement to my monochromatic outfits.

You know I love bold accessories ...

but as always

my newest collection will have

sizes for everyone.

Like my

Crown Yourself Bracelet

which is perfect for you

or

makes for a wonderful gift!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life

65th Beach Birthday Celebration

I turned 65 this week

which is a really big number to me.

I am usually all good with turning another year older

realizing what a gift it is.

This year I think it's because the number

is most commonly seen as a retiring number

and

I have so much more I want to do professionally.

Which means it's up to me

to write my own definition of

what it means to be 65.

65 is a number not to be trifled with.

For me it is a wake up call

to really dig deep and get clarity

on just what I still want to accomplish.

There is no more time for excuses

or

' some day I'll ...."

It's also an age for gratitude and self compassion

for all I have accomplished.

Time for big gratitude for my wonderful family.

It is also an age that made me feel deeply the loss

in my most recent post.

But one of the greatest lessons I've learned

from the estrangement

is to really love on the people who do want to be in my life

and

to bless those that don't.

I believe hidden within every heartbreak

there can be a gift if we truly look.

I continue to be beyond grateful

that my youngest son and his sweet family moved back!

I am forever grateful for my wonderful girl

I will be forever grateful for the wonderful spouses

both of my children found.

I have always been grateful

but every year I am more so

as I see their lives and love continue to evolve.

The family beach birthday celebration

was the perfect way to start off my

new year of

clarity

focused intention

gratitude

and

redefining for myself

just what it means to be 65!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
